Hello

I have Nexuiz installed on my Vista and Ubuntu 8-04 computers.

However when I fire up Nexuiz on my Ubuntu computer the game askes me to upgrade to the later version of 2.4.4. Seeing as I installed the gave via the Synaptic Package Manager could somebody please explain how I can install the updates?

Cheers

Well you have a few different choices, you can install the latest version of Nexiuz by following this guide: http://ubuntu-sos.blogspot.com/2008/06/installing-nexuiz-open-source.html, wait till it is upgraded in the repositories or finally go to getdeb.net and download the .deb files from there and then install them.

in linux do you always need to uninstall before you update something?


In windows you can just over-rdie the exsisting program ...does in not work the same?


Thanks again for the fast and very helpful info

In Windows you get a freaken mess of broken files and junk as well as broken updates.

Linux, major changes sometimes have dependency bugs which require you to remove the old version before re-installing but the config files are saved in your home folder so they're safe.

That makes sense, in Windows I use a few programs to clean out the junk ( CCleaner etc..)

Thanks again for the help
